i need to make an image stop flashing when i move it
and i also want my shapes..the set ones that u select off the tool bar

to stop the trails behind it, like the blur that follows the hsape

i was wondering if u can double buffer shapes aswell?

One word, one letter, and a number: Direct X 7

Actually, it's DirectX 7.....(DirectX is NOT a real word, but something MS came up with.....)

Orufet....

You and Squirm seem to know a bit about DirectX...(I don't use it myself). Maybe you two could get together and write a faq. I know Squirm just learned DX recently so he still has a newbie perspective...

What I suggest is you guys send each other drafts of an article that describes the basic methods of DirectX, then send it to me so I can put it in Tutors Corner.

You can search the web for other DX tutorials but try not to plagurize images/icons/smile.gif....

This could be interesting.....

I'm no expert in DirectX (Just started learning it a couple of weeks ago, so I'm....say Intermediate/Beignner), but maybe we could get something together...I am using DirectX 7, not 8 becuase of the change in DirectDraw...

I'm happy to do this if Squirm is willing to help...
